[08] Never Give Up. Never Surrender. When The Most Alive Part of You Goes Dormant
What happens when your most alive self goes quiet… and you’re not sure if it’ll ever coming back?

We'll explore how to stay with life even when it shrinks you… and how life often opens again in ways we couldn’t have planned. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your light, your purpose, your voice, or the version of you that feels most like you...this episode is for you.

07: Unlock True Support, Joy & Connection w/ Relationship Guide Melissa Belongea
If you're one of us craving more authentic connection, support and joy in your relationships, this episode is for you. My guest is Melissa Belongea (Writer, Creative Strategist & Relationship Guide) who joins me for an insights-filled conversation on how to consciously create relationships that energize and nourish you on a nervous system level, and vice versa, both in personal and professional environments. We dive into the fear AND joy that comes with truth sharing, how to shift from co-dependency to inter-dependency, how to apply regenerative thinking to relationships, and why we don't believe in compromising. We also explore how to nurture what in my view is the most important relationship in our lives: The relationship we have with ourselves. In the end, any thriving relationship with others, starts within you. And as we begin to create relationships in a way that all parties are seen and supported to grow, we also begin to shift the larger culture of relating in our societies. !!! Melissa also takes us through the Regenerative Relationship Worksheet to identify your truth & next steps when encountering bumps and crossroads in life. Use code SHEWHOLEADS to download the worksheet for free here: https://www.dmcostudioca.com/the-regenerative-relationship-method INSIDE THE EPISODE How the truth unlocks a deeper love (instead of disconnection) From co-dependency to INTER-dependency Balancing lightness with depth (we want both!) How to be vulnerable without vulnerability hangover Setting firm minimum standards in relationships Healing, giving & receiving in relationships Our thoughts on ‘compromising’ (hint: we don't believe in it) Identify your most aligned next steps with the Regenerative Relationship Tool & More! WISDOM NUGGETS "Love is really based on truth, and so it's this ability to both treat ourselves with self-love and learning how to take that to another person." "Regenerative Relationships involve both pouring into and receiving from a shared space." "All of society is made up of relationships; every day we're in things that were created by people where we have a direct or indirect relationship with." "In regenerative relationships, compromise isn't necessary."

06: When You Know An Inner Saboteur is Keeping You Small...
In today’s solo episode, I take you through three common Inner Saboteurs that block our manifestations and happiness: the Victim, the Savior, and the Overachiever. I so often see this happen in others and myself: When we feel stuck and out of the flow of life, one of these inner saboteurs is running the show. This isn’t something we do consciously - our nervous systems naturally create self-sabotaging behaviors as coping mechanisms in an attempt to survive, connect and belong in our environments. While perhaps temporary these saboteurs keep us 'safe', these survival patterns eventually lead to burnout and dis-ease, as we shrink ourselves to fit into boxes and roles too small for us. We block ourselves from expanding into the life we desire and fully expressing our truth. Instead, these parts have us move further and further away from our authentic radiant selves. Luckily, we can shift our subconscious wiring through awareness and by healing these self-sabotaging parts. So they don’t see a need anymore to dim your light (protect you) and start to collaborate with you instead (so you can thrive!) I also share about a 4th part, your Core Part or The Inner Leader. This is the part of you that feels most grounded, at peace and clear to make empowered, aligned decisions in every moment. This is all about attending to your Internal Family so you can find more ease and flow in your daily life, and in the pursuit of your dreams and goals. Keywords: Internal Family Systems, Inner Parts Work, Nervous System Rewiring, Embodied Leadership, Manifesting, Conscious Living.

05: How To Stop Resisting Life's Natural Cycles w/ Menstrual Health Expert Nicole Frederiksen
Burnout and misalignment are out. In comes cyclical living. We all have natural cycles that can either work against us or with us. I had the honor to sit down with one of my favorite cyclical living experts out there, Nicole Frederiksen, and explore together how to turn our cycles into a source of power, creativity and wellbeing instead of a source of self-doubt, misalignment and eventually burnout. Nicole's life’s work is about reconnecting women with their bodies, guiding them to navigate natural eb and flow cycles, and unlocking cyclical awareness to become our powerful authentic Selves no matter our season. Nicole and I both have a background in corporate. And we both know how being expected to show up every workday at the same energy, strategic, creative and social level as yesterday burns many of us out — as it did to us. I love how Nicole shines light on how we can individually and collectively shift that reality and embrace cyclical living as the antidote to hustle culture. We can either work AGAINST our natural and seasonal cycles (working ourselves into burnout and disease), or WITH them, unlocking a next level of presence, authentic power, and self-love. Inside this episode you will: Understand that turning your natural cycles into a source of power isn’t ‘hard’ Learn how to navigate cyclical symptoms to increase your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and relationships Know where PMS symptoms might come from and how to heal them Gain practical tips to love your natural rhythms and empower yourself to lead a life and career that aligns with your inner world And more! WISDOM NUGGETS "Cyclical living counters hustle culture, aligning with the innate rhythms of women's bodies." "Rest and intuitive self-care during menstruation fosters deeper connection with our bodies." "Syncing with nature and your menstrual cycle is a powerful journey toward self-discovery and embodied leadership." ABOUT THE GUEST Nicole Frederiksen is here to change the world one period (and company) at a time. She guides women business owners and leaders to understand and embrace their cyclical nature so that they can avoid burning out - because the world needs what we as women are called to create. Connect with Nicole on Instagram: @seasonandcycle (https://www.instagram.com/seasonandcycle/) Visit her virtual home here: seasonandcycle.com (https://seasonandcycle.com/) ABOUT THE HOST Hi! I’m Marit. I coach women founders and leaders to bring their life’s work, impact and abundance to a next level without sacrifice or burnout, but by embodying your intentional leader within by healing subconscious survival patterns you picked up throughout your life. You can join me inside 1:1 and group coaching programs to work on unlocking your somatic intelligence through inner parts healing, intuitive business strategy, energy efficient action taking and (if that feels expansive) psychedelic medicine journey. I founded She Who Leads to hook up mission-driven women like yourself with a community as awesome as you are. No need to figure it all out alone as we all know by now, suffering in silence is not gonna get us there.

03: The Law of Detachment | Unleash Your Power & Joy
In this episode, we delve into the powerful topic of what happens when we aren't receiving what we desire, whether that be in our career, business, relationships or wellbeing. We all experience moments of disappointment and self-judgment when life doesn't deliver on our efforts. How can we navigate this energy so it doesn’t overshadow our lives, so we can still consciously create the life we want in a way that feels expansive and joyful? Today, I’ll discuss the law of detachment. You’ll learn how to balance future desires with embracing the present. Discover how releasing attachment can open doors to unexpected fulfillment, opportunities and growth, allowing you to become the best versions of yourself now, and not later. We dive into: Common misunderstandings about the Law of Detachment (it's not about watering down your desire) How to deal with disappointment when your desire isn't manifesting (yet) How to strike a balance between having desires + fully receiving life now How to shift disappointment and self-judgment so you don’t (subconsciously) block your intuition, inspiration and motivation Checking in with yourself to identify areas where you may be attaching your sense of worth, security and happiness to external circumstances and outcomes The best thing you can do to activate true fulfillment and freedom right now How to establish a relationship with your desires that feels mobilizing and freeing instead of daunting A powerful self-leadership practice to detach from a specific outcome, while still maintaining desire and belief in them Don’t forget to register for our upcoming free She Who Leads Meetup!
